You just need to explore how you will use your images in an artwork- it could be a combination of digital and drawn work or a storybook or time-lapse animation of images and drawing that also explores future events. Unfortunately sculptures of trees has lost its originality in our studios. Your thumbnails sketches have a lovely immediacy and quirkiness to them.

on the 8/2 Mrs Sturgess Said: " these images still seem too central please see me on Monday so that we can work on the final intention and combination of figures and landscape.

The diagonal lines of the wall in this image draws your eye to the tree in the centre and the diagonal line of the hedge leads your eye to the treehouse. There is a lot of texture in this image (mainly in green colours) The texture on the leopard tree stands out against the greenery.Rule of thirds has been applied with a larger dominance on the treehouse. Interesting curvature to the photo that creates a balance in the image although rounded. symmetrical balance has been included.The empty spaces on either side of the tree leads your eye to the tree house by creating a pyramid shape

Edited Photos of the treeImage is divided using rule of thirdsLight falls at an angle which highlight the tree as being an important focal point in the imageThe lighter side of the image creates a strong diagonal line that draws your eye to the treeThe Gaussian blur emphasizes the tree as the focal point and is the first thing the reader sees when analyzing the imageThe strong highlights on the tree again emphasize the treeThe Gaussian Blur emphasizes the 2 diagonal main branches which draw the viewers eye in to the treeThe darker tones of the two main branches emphasize the shape of the tree and the inverted triangle shapeAn inverted triangle shape has been createdThe tree is too central in this imageThe sky is too light and draws too much attention as it contrasts the darker midtones in the garden.The whole image is in focus and the viewers eye does not recognize the tree as the main focus.Tonal Drawing(final intention)reference to be added when i have worked out citethisforme.comreference to be added when i have worked out citethisforme.comfinal project will be an animation using stop frame animation around the tonal drawing of the tree with characters moving around the tree to convey the activity under the tree that made it a landmark for a 'personal geography'.http://www.slideboom.com/presentations/926735/Photo-Editing-Process--Personal-Geographies.-Lauren-CoetzeeTo View my Online Powerpoint Presentation, Click here!Final IntentionCreate a series of events that are to be joined together to create one long page of multiple images such as what is done by ArtyMiss above.Plan of action1.
